This one from The End of Gender by Shari L. Thurer:
"...One third of male-to-female transgenders, including post-operative trassexuals, go on loving women--hardly the most parsimonious route to get a woman if we presume that most women prefer to have sex with people with penises. Obviously, these particular transgenders' wish was not to be conventional women, but to be lesbians."
( And a curiousity of mine, and a bias:Collapse )

Subject: SIGN ON BY TOMORROW! SAMHSA Reauthorization Sign On Letter
Action Alert from the National Coalition for LGBT Health
I was asking just last night if more lesbians (etc) come from dysfunctional families, based on watching some of the movie Boys Don't Cry. More on this movie another night. For now, here's the text of an email with some interesting factoids. It argues that LGBT folks are underserved medically and overtaxed mentally and emotionally, and that we need to guarantee that this population is supported in upcoming legislation, specifically in the reauthorization of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA). If you know of any organizations who might want to sign on to support getting equal access to healthcare for this marginalized population, tomorrow is the deadline to sign onto the letter below.
